Yes, those are Jupiter's moons. S&T (print version) has a chart showing
which is which and there is software available which will do the same. Some

I'm observing Jupiter through my Tasco 675 with the H12.5mm Lens, when I
notice three points of light, 2 above, and one below, in a very straight
line. Could those be Jupiter's moons? Just curious, and thanks for the
help.
